How reliable is a Mitsubishi Lancer?

I want to trade in my car for a smaller one and the Mitsubishi Lancer seems like a good option to me. Are they reliable? I want to make sure that whichever car I get will last for a while.

The
Mitsubishi Lancer
is a fairly reliable vehicle, although it ranks near the bottom of the list when compared to similar compact car models on the market right now. They are also more expensive to maintain than the average compact car, mostly because repairs tend to be costly when they’re necessary.
With the proper maintenance and care, though, Lancers will last for 150,000 to 200,000 miles before breaking down beyond repair. This means that you can drive this car for a while, so it’s a good investment if you’re hoping to drive a compact car for a few years!
When you do make the switch from one car to another, you’ll need to update your car insurance. Check out the
